diet plan

We see a lot of health buff eat brown bread instead of white bread, is brown bread healthier? The truth is the calorie content of both brown bread and white bread is almost equal. White bread is made of flour that has been processed more than that of a brown bread, in which germ and bran of the wheat grain are removed. The process will only leave the white and starchy endosperm that has little nutritional value. White bread also contain more sugars than may lead to diabetes.

Since brown bread that uses whole-wheat flour has not gone through the same process as white bread it retained most of the nutritional value. Whole-wheat brown bread contains more fiber than white bread, as well as vitamin E and B, magnesium, manganese, iron, phosphorous, potassium and zinc. However, sometimes this is not the case because there are white bread in the market today that is fortified with vitamins and fiber.

But still whole wheat brown is healthier since the bleaching process use for white bread involves three chemicals that can be harmful to humans in large amount they are potassium bromate, benzoyl peroxide and chlorine dioxide. Whole-wheat brown bread is also good for your diet plan since it makes you feel fuller longer than white bread.
